Exhibiting Architecture in Chicago and Milan: A Conversation

The Chicago Architecture Biennial is the first major international exhibition of architecture in North America; the roots of such architectural displays can be traced to World’s Fairs and Expos that have long brought design and construction together here and abroad. The coincidence of Expo 2015 in Milan and the Chicago Architecture Biennial presents the opportunity to consider the challenges of exhibiting architecture when globalization encourages both greater individual performance and increased uniformity among architects.
